Euros proprius
is the most distinctive species in the genus. The red and orange forewing and red hindwing fringe easily separate it from the other species. In the male genitalia, the ampulla is about as broad as it is long, much longer in
E. osticollis
and
E. cervina
.

locality. Strawberry Valley, Siskiyou Co., California.
Distribution and habitat.
E. proprius
has been found near streams in dry forests in the northern Sierra Nevada, California where I have found it in association with
